3.57 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment you present a jewel that seems to hold the evening sky within its curve, a treasure that whispers of oceans and constellations, a piece that will become the memory everyone remembers, and then picture that jewel coming from The Natural Sapphire Company. This delightful blue sapphire weighs 3.57 carats, and wears an elegant oval shape, with dimensions of 9.87 by 7.66 by 4.51 millimeters, each measurement speaking to its presence and balance on the hand or at the heart. The gem is cabochon cut, a smooth domed surface that invites the eye to travel and to dwell, offering a soft, luminous sheen rather than sharp facets. Its clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which lends the stone an authentic personality, those tiny natural signatures that remind us of the earth and its story. The color intensity is intense, a rich blue that will make a statement without ever shouting. The polish is excellent, a mirror like finish that enhances the stone, and like many fine sapphires this gem has been heat treated, a traditional enhancement that deepens hue and clarity, and it hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a birthplace of sapphires renowned for their historical beauty and mineral heritage.

When you hold this sapphire you will notice how its translucency allows light to float within, not merely dancing on a surface but glowing from an inner place, like a memory that warms from inside. The cabochon cut creates a pillowed reflection, a serene, velvety luminosity that feels graceful and intimate, perfect for someone who loves subtlety and depth. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level under inspection, are not flaws to hide but character to celebrate, each one a unique fingerprint that confirms the natural origin of the gem and assures you of its authenticity. Color is everything with a blue sapphire, and this stone presents an intense blue that is both classic and rare in its evenness. The excellent polish amplifies the depth of color and the sweep of light, giving the gem a refined finish that stands beautifully under day light and evening lamp light alike. Origin matters to collectors and romantics alike, and the Ceylon provenance of this stone connects it to a storied lineage of sapphires prized for their luminous tones, and to a tradition of gem cutting and appreciation that spans centuries.

Imagine setting this sapphire into a bespoke ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings where its soft domed surface will catch the eye and the heart at every turn. It pairs exquisitely with a White Opal, the gentle, shimmering play of opal fire providing a luminous counterpoint to the sapphire blue, creating a duet of color that is both calming and joyful. The White Opal, with its milky backdrop and flashes of spectral color, enhances the sapphire by reflecting and refracting light in ways that feel almost conversational, a meeting of two stones that speak of dreams and devotion. Whether mounted in warm gold to surround the blue with a glow of sunlight, or set in cool platinum to let the intensity of the blue sing, this cabochon sapphire will anchor the design while the White Opal brings romance and a whisper of play. Think of a bezel setting that cradles the oval shape and protects the domed surface, or a delicate halo that frames the sapphire and opal pairing, every choice translating your affection into metal and stone. At The Natural Sapphire Company we guide you through every step, recommending settings, metals, and design proportions that honor the measurements and the gentle character of this 9.87 by 7.66 by 4.51 millimeter gem, making certain the final piece becomes a keepsake that feels timeless.
